<h2>Alcohol Solubility in Water Data</h2>

<h3>Description</h3>


<p>The solubility of alcohols in water is important in understanding
alcohol transport in living organisms.  This dataset from (Romanelli
et al., 2001) contains physicochemical characteristics of 44 aliphatic
alcohols.  The aim of the experiment was the prediction of the
solubility on the basis of molecular descriptors.
